June "Grandma Juney" Werner-Burroughs, age 88, of Battle Creek passed away April 15, 2020. Mom was born in Clarksville, Michigan and raised by her paternal grandparents Birt and Hazel Miller. She married Robert Werner in 1956 which ended in divorce. She married Jerry Burroughs in 1995. Mom was preceded in death by her grandparents and husband, Jerry Burroughs. She is survived by her children, Cindy (Brian) MacDonald and Karen Fay her grandchildren, Adam (Jennifer) MacDonald, Kristin MacDonald, Jacob Perry, Kayla (Don) Paul, Katie (Tim) Ferris, and Camrin Fay; and great-granddaughters, Penelope June MacDonald and Madelynn Perry. She was employed over the years by Ralstons, Kellogg's, Stans Place, Grizzly Bar...But one of her favorite jobs was working in the cafeteria at Pennfield schools. She was a diehard Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers fan...She never turned down an opportunity to play euchre and she bowled for 50+ years—it truly was her favorite sport. She always felt the most important trophy to win was the one for best sportsmanship. The absolute happiness and joy in her life were her children and grandchildren.. She attended every sporting event, band concert and dance recital. If it involved her children she was in attendance...She was also known for big family dinners as she absolutely loved to cook and have everyone gather.. She always had joy and hope in her heart...we will miss her "Grandma Juney" kisses and hugs and of course the sound of her laughter.. We will try to live by her words "We are all here together in this life to help one another." In lieu of a public memorial service the family will have a private memorial to say farewell. If you wish to make a donation in Mom's name, her favorite charity was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or just help someone today in Mom's Memory.

I believe the only thing that matters is what people say about you after you're "gone." Well, Juney Moon was an exceptional, loving, energetic "Shining Example" of kindness, motherhood, and friendship. She loved my Christa like her own. Such wonderful memories with Juney Moon -- feeling a part of her family with Bob, Cindi, and Karen. . . and Aunt Lula! Holidays, dinners, sunset cruises, Cindi & Brian's wedding, sitting around just talking, laughing, and loving . . . Love and Light to Cindi and Karen. Juney Moon was definitely a blessing in our lives! I am Celebrating her life in my heart and through my memories. Love, Julie

I remember how Juney would rock me to sleep patting me on the bottom twice every time we rocked backward. I rocked my own babies the same way. I have many cherished childhood memories with Juney at Bristol Lake, The Grizzly Bar and the Bowling alley...all filled with Juney's abundance of love. She's one of a kind. I will always love Juney Mooon.

Cindy and Karen - I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was truly a wonderful woman. I bowled against her team and with her as a team mate for many years. We had lots of laughs and was glad that I got to see her. She was also very caring. June loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. Always very proud of their achievements throughout the years. June was always full of life. Thinking of you all during this time.

I was named for four aunts one of whom was Aunt June. She was always fun to visit as a child, but what I remember most recently was the wonderful note of condolence she sent upon my mother's passing. It was a comfort that I wish I could offer to all of her children and grandchildren now. I pray for comfort and peace for all of you.

Some of my favorite memories of times growing up was visiting Aunt June and Uncle Bobby at their home on the Lake. She was so nice to us kids and had an infectious laugh. I will cherish those memories for as long as I live. She was a truly wonderful person.

We are so very sorry to hear about June's passing. It was a blessing for us to get to know her and spend some time with her at family gatherings and our wonderful trip to Florida together. Annie especially had very special place in her heart for Grandma June. God Bless you all and we are very sorry for your loss.
